“American Airlines Group’s Piedmont Airlines will open a maintenance base at Albany International Airport to service its growing fleet of Embraer 145 regional jets. Piedmont expects to begin hiring to fill more than 50 positions at the base next month.

The Piedmont operation will be the second airline base at the airport dedicated to the 50-seat Embraer 145s. United Express carrier CommutAir already occupies two hangars where it maintains its own Embraer 145 fleet and employs about 100 people.”

“he Capital District Transportation Authority is interested in building and operating an “intermodal transit center” in downtown Schenectady at the corner of State and Church streets, according to a recently issued request for proposals and a public presentation last week.

The project site would include the current Adirondack Trailways bus station, which would be demolished; an adjacent, county-owned lot; and part of the newly developed Gateway Plaza, which replaced Liberty Park.”

“Inside a building near Route 146, surrounded by forklifts and pallets of brightly-colored yarn spread across 12,000 square feet of space, Nicole Snow took in her company’s new home. It was a far cry from the two boxes of yarn she’d started Darn Good Yarn with in her house in 2008.
